PHILADELPHIA — As well as Zack Godley keeps pitching, he still has to earn his spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ rotation.
He’ll get his next opportunity to prove he belongs on Saturday afternoon in the second game of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Godley will be making his first career start against the Phillies, though he’s faced them once before, throwing a scoreless inning in relief last June before briefly moving into the Diamondbacks’ rotation the following month. After going back to the bullpen last August and September, he’s established himself firmly as a starter this year — at least it would seem.
